How to watch and listen to the Missouri Tigers' season-opener against Memphis.
After a long summer of waiting, Missouri men's basketball will officially open its 2024-25 campaign against the Memphis Tigers on the road Monday.
Removed from its winless SEC finish last season, Missouri looks to start fresh with a strong freshman and transfer class, surrounded by a few key contributors that remained with the program. The focus for coach Dennis Gates and company is to move forward in a "positive" way from the past, and get back on an upward trajectory.
To do that the Tigers will have to get past the opposing Tigers, whom it lost to a year ago at home in a 70-55 contest. Led by coach and former NBA player Penny Hardaway, Memphis are looking to build upon on a 22-10 win 2023-24 season and reach the NCAA Tournament, which it failed to accomplish for the first time since 2021.
Memphis is a tough opponent to open the year against on the road, but Missouri would still like to make a statement and show that last season results weren't just a "fluke." Regardless of a win or loss, it'll certainly serve as an early-season test.Memphis won 70-55 in last year's season-opener, led by Jahvon Quinerly's 18-point performance. Missouri shot just 6-of-30 from behind the arc, with Sean East II's 14 points being the only real bright spot.
